my. At these points regimental flags
were flying, sometimes dropping as the
bearers were shot, but never reaching the
ground, for other brave hands were
there to seize them, Sixty flags were ad-
vancing up the hill, in the faces of its
defenders, Bragg was hurrying large
bodies of men from his right to the cen
ter. They could be seen coming along
the summit of the ridge in double-quick
time. Cheatham's division was being
withdrawn from Sherman's front, Bragg
and Hardee were at the center, doing
their uttermost to encourage their troops,
and urging them to stand firm and drive
back the advancing enemy, now so near
the summit-indeed, so near that the
guns, which could not be sufficiently de-
pressed to reach them, became use
less. Artillerymen were lighting
the fuses of shell and bowl
ing them by hundreds down
the hill. The critical moment arrived
when the summit was just within reach.
At six different points, and almost stimuli
taneously, Sheridan's and Woods divi-
sions broke over the crest-Sherman's
first, near Bragg's headquarters; and in
few minutes Sheridan was beside the
guns that had been fred at him and
claiming them as captures of his division.

turned upon those who still remained in

Fashion Notes.

Leading dressmakers are making
basques somewhat longer on the hip.
Chip is being revived by English mil
liners as a material for hats and bonnets.
Cream laces make the most tasteful
garniture for bright colored India or China
silks.
Raveled edges on draperies are shown
on few imported silk and wooden

Amber necklaces are very much worn
with evening toilets. The effect is quite
infantile.
Some of the very small capotes have
pointed brims, shaped in front like the
PROV of boat.
New capote bonnets Of gauze are
made with row upon row of plisse about
two inches wide.
An entire black costume, showing O
suggestion of silver throughout, is very
distinguished in effect.
English girls are wearing sailor hats
with plain ribbon band without bows,
and turned up at the back.
Draperies of wool over silk or velvet
skirts are gaining added popularity each
day. There is tendency to drape light
shades over dark ones.

Insects and Pests,

The onion maggot will begin to work
when the young plants are large enough
for hoeing, or little later if the onions
have made an early growth. The first
sign noticed will be the dropping of
onion tops, and if the maggot is not
stopped each worm will move along the
row, taking every onion for one or two
feet. As there may be more than one on
the first plant, and and as the eggs may
be deposited very thickly over the field,
they make sad work, often taking whole
rows in few days, or perhaps SO rcduc
ing the whole field as to make the better
way to plow it up and devote it to other
crops. Where they are but few,
the only sure way is to take out
the root as soon as the top begins to wilt,
and perhaps one or two on each side of
it in the row and take up the soil at least
an inch in depth. Remove this from the
field entirely, and either devote it to the
compost heap, or to such a drying as will
kill the little maggot that does the mis-
chief. 1t may be necessary to look over
the field twice day for week or more
before all will be destroyed But in no
other way can the value of the field be
preserved as an onion field. The only
other remedy is to devote it to grass or
other crops for three or four years, and
grow no onions near it.
The cabbage fly can be driven away by
occasionally sprinkling the leaves with
fine tobacco, pulverized sulphur and
plaster mixed together. For the cabbage
worm use solution of saltpetre at the
rate of quarter of pound in two gal
Ions of water, with which shower the
plants literally. This is also useful for
destroying rose bugs, and if little of it
is used in watering cabbage and tomato
plants or melon hills, it may prevent the
cut worm from attacking them. For the
currant worm powdered hellcbore is a
sure destroyer, and if used freely until
after the currants blossom, the worms
seldom appear later. As it is poisonous,
it should not be used after the berries arc
grown, when it will be necessary to de-
pend upon hand picking. The same
caution should be observed in regard &c

Chinese Juveniles at Play.

In and about the plaza, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, there is nearly every
day a bobbing of little pigtails and a
Gathering of little shoes along the alley
ways and gravelcd walks, and they are not
the least pleasing of the sights and
sounds in that ncighborhood. One catches
a glimpse there of Chinese Juvenile life.
The Chronicle says:
There is Chinese game, however, that
never fails to arouse the interest and
envy of the white boys. 1t is played
with loaded cork bestuck with feathers.
The game is to keep the cork in the air.
The first player throws up the shuttle
cock and before it again reaches the earth
he twists his foot and gives the descend
ing object kick with his heel, which
sends it up into the air, sometimes as
high as twenty feet. When it descends
again he tries to keep it within the range
of his heel as long as possible, but the
play soon fails to be exclusive; other
boys standing anxiously about manage to
get "a kick at it, sending it away from the
first player, who then joins the outsiders
in general scramble to gain possession.
Sometimes in the heat of the play, when
the crowd is punched together, the ytchut-
tlecock is struck by the hand, but that is
not allowable unless it is in danger Of
striking the ground before the heel can
strike it. Expert players keep their hands
in their sleeves, hitting the feathery OBJ
ject only with the heel, and thus keeping
it from the ground for hours at a time
Great skill is necessary for this game, anc
where American boys have undertaken tc
play it with the heather they have Away
